What is recorded here

Detached double-pile multiple-bay two-storey over basement former laundry, built c.1850, with extensions to west. Now derelict. Set within complex of Saint Conleth's Reformatory School. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack, terracotta ridge tiles, limestone coping and roof vents. Cast-iron rainwater goods. Pitched corrugated-iron and lean-to roofs to extensions. Rendered walls with tooled limestone quoins. Round-headed window openings, now blocked. Square-headed door openings with timber battened doors. Interior contains boiler, sinks and drying presses.
Though now derelict, this building is part of a significant complex of outbuildings attached to Saint Conleth's Reformatory School. Constructed of red brick, it appears to be of a mid nineteenth-century date. Its interior retains much of the features associated with a laundry, making it particularly noteworthy and interesting form a technical point of view.
